My husband Tom is the best father ever, he raised his children for many years by himself and that in it's self was a chore with a handicapped daughter. But a fathers love is a great thing! So I wanted to do something special for him for fathers day. I had to tell a lie to get him to take the time off work though...but it was for a good thing! I told him since I started working for Harley I had to go to the ROT rally in Austin. He took 4 days off work and had a reload for him when he got back. So on Thursday morning as we loaded up to go to Austin (not really Austin), my husband was a bit confused when I said OK we're going out 105 towards Beaumont...he looked at me and said "thats not where Austin is Honey", " yes sweetheart I know, but we're going to take the scenic route. That night when we got our hotel room in Daphne Alabama, he said "You pulled one on me didn't ya". We met some old friends there in Alabama the in the morning we all headed to Natchez Mississippi and we rode the trail for the day headed down around Jackson in a really nice place we have stayed before while ridding the Natchez Trace Trail, and the Foot hills Parkway. They kinda know us there and are always happy to see us. But then the next day our friends had to get back to Florida and we went on to Shreveport La to gamble a bit. Then on Sunday we headed down through the woods to come home. My husband said the ride was great but I also got him a shirt to go along with the ride it reads at first glance "I LOVE MY WIFE" but when you read all the small print in between it really reads " I LOVE when MY WIFE says go for a ride". The only thing that could have made it better was the kids being with us...but Labor Day they are all going to be here and we will all ride together! Hope all you days had a great Fathers Day. I know we were long over due a trip!

Good for you, and a great surprise trip for Tom. It does sound like it was a fun trip and vacation. I work too much too and would love to get away like that. Sometimes all we need is a good excuse and a little push by someone in the right direction.
